General product information

The classic-dainty tapware of our JULIA series is produced in a small factory in France. The manufacturing company HORUS grants a 5 year guarantee on their high-quality tapware (except wear parts).

Specific product information

Manufacturing process

Our tapware is crafted in solid brass, which is moulded into individual components within the treatment process. After moulding, every component is ground by hand to achieve an even, slightly rough surface as base for the subsequent final coating.

Surface finishes

This tapware is available in 4 different standard surface finishes, offering a suitable finish for virtually every fitting situation and taste:

Chrome - high-gloss, cool silver-coloured

Nickel - high-gloss, warm silver-coloured

Nickel - matt, rather dark silver-coloured

Brass - patinized, slightly brownish and rather uneven colour

The coating with chrome or nickel is made through several immersion baths by electrolysis on the polished or rough surface of the components.
The patinized surface is not a coating, but the brass surface gets changed through reactions in an acid bath (patination). This process demands a lot of experience, skilled craftsmanship and finesse. The patinized tapware is treated with an acrylic-based matt varnish for surface protection.

Lever design

The nostalgic star knobs of this tapware have the very classic shape with small decorative beads on each end. The embedded lenses made of porcelain are labelled with the French words chaud/froid. We deliver them without labeling on request. The lenses can easily be replaced, if they get broken or chipped. The tapware of this series is also available with porcelain levers.

Valves and spare parts

All inner valves come with an low-wear ceramic gasket, to reliably control the water flow. It goes without saying that you will be able to obtain these spare parts even after years. The tapware can be dismantled into its individual components, thus every component can get replaced. Single parts can also be re-ordered as spare parts. If need be, just send us an enquiry!

Instructions for mounting and care

Cleaning and care

Water contains chalk and other mineral constituents, which may settle on the tapware after the water evaporated. Residues of different articles of daily use like toth paste, toiletries and cosmetics as well as fruit and vegetable acids and wine can also affect the coating. Therefore please rinse the tapware with clear water after every use.

To maintain the high-quality surface of the tapware, we recommend to carefully clean it every day. Please do not use agressive and abrasive cleaning agents. Chlorine and bleach, acids, ammonia and soda corrode the surface and should not get used. Also avoid the use of abrasive cleaning devices, scouring powder and disinfectants.

Water and soap and a soft cloth are best for regular cleaning. Please be careful if you live in an area with very hard water! The alcaline constituents of soap may unite with the chalk in the water to form a so-called lime soap, that may settle as unpleasant dirt rims in the sink and on the tapware and are difficult to clean. In this case please use mild detergents that are suitable for use on tapware, e.g. the care product DECAL (from HORUS). It protects the tapware from mineral residues and can be used as needed.

Please note that damages resulting from improper cleaning and treatment can not be accepted as claims.

Mounting

Mounting must only be carried out by or under under the direction and supervision of a qualified specialist. We cannot accept any liability for damages due to incorrect mounting.
